Tri-Parish Home Mission Retreat:  “Restored
“Restore us, O God; let thy face shine, that we may be saved.” ~ Psalm 80:3
POSTPONED, 2020
To be held in place of this year’s Steubenville Catholic Youth Conference.
Due to the present Diocesan and County Health COVID-19 guidelines, we are postponing this retreat until we have better direction as to safety practices. 
​What: A “Home Mission Retreat”
  • This is a retreat and service weekend that will include everything you love about the trips and retreats we have taken in the past, including service projects, speakers, Mass, small groups, Adoration, Confession, and game time!
  • This mission/retreat invites you to encounter the God who calls us His sons and daughters. Come and experience His overwhelming love for you. Be “Restored”!
 When: June 25th-28th, 2020
  • Please be flexible – the date may change, but the scheduled itinerary will remain the same!
 Where: Held right here at St. Mary’s, Durand!
  • Service projects will be in our local communities!
  • Youth may stay in their own homes each night, or stay in host homes.
 Who: It is open to all in grades 8 through 12.
  • There will be only 21 spots for youth.
  • This will allow small groups for the service projects and space for social distancing if needed.
 Cost: The cost is $60.00 per person. 
  • Includes: 8 meals, snacks, a t-shirt, transportation to-and-from service areas, and all retreat programming.

“Restore us, O God;
let thy face shine,
that we may be saved.”
​​– Psalm 80:3
Dear Tri-Parish Youth and Families, 

It makes me very sad, but in talking to parents and others in the Ministry field, we have officially decided that it is safer to adjust our summer plans. The annual Durand Deanery Rally in Eau Galle has been cancelled, and the Tri-Parish will not be attending the Steubenville Conference this summer due to COVID-19.

HOWEVER, that does not mean that there will not be anything happening for us this summer! We will hold a "HMR!" What is an HMR? It is a Home Mission Retreat! It will have the same theme as the conferences: "Be Restored!" The schedule will also be the same dates as the Conference, except no June 29th.

  • It would start on Thurs. June 25th at St. Mary's with a gathering time, getting reacquainted, game on! Then we would head out to do service projects in the area for the afternoon. Supper would be around 5:00 or 5:30 p.m., then we would have free time, a talk, praise and worship, adoration, Mass, and fun times before we head home for the night (unless the group would like to camp at the Parish!).
  • Friday would be very much like Thurs., and Sat. morning would also be a service time. Then Sat. afternoon would focus more on speakers, some friendly competition, praise and worship, small group and hopefully lead into an all night Eucharistic Adoration.
  • Sunday would be Mass, a huge breakfast time and closing of the retreat.

Other details:
  • Exact timing and schedule is TBD, and the speakers would be from the local area.
  • The cost would be about $60.00 a person, which should include 8 or 10 meals, transportation to the service locations, a t-shirt and all programming.
  • A permission slip with itinerary will be sent out soon.

If you have already paid for the conference and would like to be a part of the Home Mission Retreat, we can apply what you have paid to the HMR and refund the amount over that you have paid. If you have sold car wash cards, we will put the fund-raised amount you have earned toward a trip for next year or the Immersion retreat this fall.

We will only be able to take 21 youth for this experience, but those that were interested in the conference have first chance at it! Contact the us for more info.

God Bless,
Monica
Tri-Parish Youth Minister/Confirmation Coordinator
